I have never had problems with anything about Lydd - other than finding it of course! (Would make it a lot easier if the LYD VOR was on the airfield!)
A couple of year's ago I flew there on a grey, miserable Sunday lunchtime. I was probably the only plane flying that day. Went into the "Biggles Restaurant" and it was packed out. Full of ex-RAF WWII peeps by the looks of their moustaches! They were having a reunion WWII get together. Great atmosophere!
There are some great photos of the cross channel car-carriers from the 60's flying to Le Touquet.
